DENVER, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Newmont Mining Corp (NYSE:NEM) NEM.N is
not interested in buying the U.S. assets Barrick Gold ABX.TO
has put up for sale, but would be keen on Barrick's 50 percent
stake in an Australian mine at the right price, Newmont Chief
Executive Gary Goldberg said on Tuesday.
"If we were to be interested in Barrick's assets, it
wouldn't be those particular assets," Goldberg said in an
interview when asked about the package of six gold mines and
projects that Barrick is selling in the United States.
Asked if Newmont would be keen on Kalgoorlie, a gold mine in
Australian jointly owned by Barrick and Newmont, he said: "If we
could do something at the right value, that's one that we would
be interested in."
